Hi, Lady. Hi, FinestFolk.

Well, this has just been the summer I'd really rather forget. I'll write an update as soon as I can. The short version is Mom and Dad lost just about everything(to Katrina) except stuff on shelves and upper cabinets in their kitchen.

The silver lining is they have bought a house close to us.

And even better than that, we got the call last Thursday night that our little grandson was born at last. D-I-L and baby are doing great. Our son is ecstatic. Our little granddaughter(will be 3 in Dec.) is---uh---less than thrilled. :o)

WOW, what a wonderful, wonderful surprise. Thank You so very much for remembering my birthday, how in the world did you remember. I appreciate it very, very much. LOVE the graphic, it is beautiful. Reminds me of when I was young, my Nana use to set my hair in 'rags' so I would have curls like the one in the pic. Thank You, Billie :-)

Dear sweet LadyX,

I love your post so very much and I am touched by it.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!

It means the world to me. You know what, this is so funny.. my great grandmothers name was Mary....guess what my middle name is :-)

Hi Billie; I just now found out it is your birthday. Have a happy one.

I once helped write lyrics to "Lady in Red." I was a pup with many talents. Always.

I am able to put them all to use now.

"Good morning deadhead. Ink is doing GREAT!

I am so happy to read this, makes my day :-) Hmmm, vanilla ice cream, I will remember that one. Hugs to your sweet pup, Ink

Mary was hardly a risky guess..:))

My own grandmither's maiden name was Mary Matilda Dickson - and while Dickson is Scottish, for sure, Mary 'twas common in the 1800's.
She, however, was always called Maud.

I last winter gave to my older granddaughter a teaspoon engraved with her married initials MMB - B for Banks - from her silverware set when my grandparents married in March of 1898.
Also gave both granddaughters a cup and saucer set of her demitasse cups.
Hafta laugh at that - would any of us ever use a demitasse cup in this era of Bigger is Better?!!
LOL

Most of my Irish blood was from my father's side - my maiden last name being Daugherty...

How wonderful to hear from you!
I wanted to write to ask about your parents, but realized you probably were overwhelmed with decision making/adjustments, and when things were on an even keel again, you'd check in.

God was so merciful in prompting them to flee to a safe haven before the hurricane hit!
While losing their possessions is heart wrenching, they did not have to huddle in an airless attic, praying to survive, as did so many helpless persons who decided to ride it out.

Thank you, Father, for being in the midst of their situation, and sparing Lakeside heavy grief.
